Kyle continued, recounting the rest of the story
After Isaac was cast out, the charlatan assumed the child would not survive. Whether he lived or died didn’t
matter. Eventually, wolves would eat him, and there would be nothing left.
But by chance, Adrian passed through that area. One night, he heard a faint baby-like cry and got curious.
Thinking he had found a spirit, he followed the sound, only to be disappointed when he found Isaac.
First, it wasn’t a baby-it was a five or six-year-old child.
Second, it wasn't a spirit-it was a sick child on the brink of death. Having been
abandoned there for who knows how long, one of his toes had been gnawed off by rats and his foot was covered
in blood.
Worse still, there were poisonous snakes nearby. Luckily, Isaac was so sick he barely moved, and the snakes
didn’t approach.
What incredible luck the child had. Barely breathing, he was still alive when Adrian found him. Despite his
misgivings, Adrian took Isaac back with him. After a few days of light food and two doses of medicine, he actually
started to recover.

In the capital, David had consulted many physicians who could not make Isaac any better. Yet, just a few bowls
of soup and two doses of medicine had worked wonders.
It was extraordinary.
Adrian wasn't too impressed, though. The kid was so thin, with barely any flesh on him. Isaac was nearly six
years old, but looked like he was only three or four. Adrian realized raising him would be a lot of trouble.
He thought about sending Isaac back, but then remembered how the kid didn’t scream when surrounded by
poisonous snakes. He figured the child must be bold, and having courage was the most important thing in life.
With that thought, Adrian decided to keep him. The rest would depend on the boy's fate.
At that age, a child could already remember things. Once Isaac trusted Adrian enough, he shared his story.
Adrian sent people to investigate and soon learned the full details.

After the fire at the temple, the Earl of Silverstone’s family thought Isaac was dead. However, Adrian found the
charlatan and took him back to Meadow Ridge. Saying the cool autumn day was a good tfor drying cured
meat, he set up a long pole and tied the priest to it. The priest's tongue was no good for eating, so he cut it off
first.
No one knew exactly when the charlatan died, but he hung there for three months before being taken down.
Burial was out of the question, and they couldn't waste a mat to wrap

him in. Digging a hole felt too disrespectful to the earth itself, so they simply threw his body to the wolves.
Strangely enough, even the wolves rejected him. If it hadn't been for the need to store fat for the winter, they
wouldn't have touched him at all.
The charlatan had lived in the temple Isaac had been taken to, and it was almost laughable how a noble family
with a long history of military honor believed the lies about borrowing the power of sgod or deity. It was one
thing for the ignorant common folk to fall for it, but the Earl of Silverstone’s family believed it completely. They
even handed over their five -year-old son, placing him in the hands of a monster.
Isaac-that was the nAdrian had given him. He hoped the boy’s future would be full of music and joy, free
from the hardships of his past.
“As Isaac grew older, Sage Adrian asked him if he wanted to return to Silverstone Estate,” Kyle continued. “But
he refused, saying there was no need. Seraphina had died in that fire, and once a person is dead, they cannot
cback.”
Carissa’s heart tightened, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't stop the grief from spilling over. When she
thought of Isaac, she thought of Ryan. And then, thinking of Ryan's tragic fate, she couldn't help but imagine the
torment Isaac must have endured in that temple.

A five-year-old child, once coddled and cherished, was suddenly abandoned to a cruel charlatan. He had been
tortured, nearly dying in a few short months. Then, to be thrown away as if his life meant nothing-who knew
what else the charlatan had done to him?
“I think if he doesn’t want to acknowledge them, then don’t,” Rafael said, clearly angry. Who knows if they really
sent Isaac away hoping he would live, or if they just wanted him to carry on the family’s fortune?”
After all, the Earl of Silverstone’s family had fully believed in the charlatan’s lies.

“That's probably something Isaac has wondered about himself,” Kyle replied. “But he never dared ask. The truth
is, how could he not feel anything for his mom? He was her precious child for five years, and even after
everything, she clooking for him. Because of that, he always had a soft spot for her.”
Rafael thought for a moment, then added, “But wait-Marshal Prince inherited the title. That means their dad
never did. And Marshal Prince had sdisabilities when he inherited, though not serious. The last t| saw
him, it seemed like they were all healed.”
